Garmin Approach Handheld Touchscreen Course

Garmin Approach Handheld Touchscreen Course

I bought this about a month ago and have found it to be an excellent product. Unlike some of the other reviews for me it starts right up and is ready to do. The first few round that I used it I carried it in my pocket and I found that it took a few seconds to pinpoint the distance when I pulled it out. Since then I have a cradle for it on my push cart and there is no longer a delay in finding the distance to the green. When I was carrying it in my pocket I sometimes forgot that it even there because it is so light. Prior to buying this I had a SkyCaddie SGX and a G4 both very good divises but I was getting tired of the annual membership fees and the limited number of courses that these units could hold and the failure on SkyCaddies part to deliver some of the things that were promised when I bought the SGX when they first came out. Last September I had to replace my SGX for a problem and it cost me $99, then in February after not using it that much over the winter the toggle button fell off and they wanted another $99 to replace this used unit plus my three year membership was expiring at a cost of another $149 so instead of spending close to $250 for a used unit I spent close to $300 for a new unit with no annual membership fees and this unit works great, I love the touch screen, it makes it so easy to use.

Most Convenient

Garmin Approach Watch Preloaded Courses I have a golf GPS that requires me to download the course information before I can play for the first time. That process isn't simple or without problems. This Garmin S1 is the easiest thing to use. You turn it on, tell it you want to play a round of golf (since it comes up in watch mode) and it displays a list of the courses nearby. So if you are at a golf course when you tell it you want to play, you don't have to go searching for the course you want to play, it is already on the top of the list you select from. If there is more than one course nearby, as there is at my golf club, the different courses will be listed for you to choose from with the closest first. Using the S1 during play couldn't be easier either. You don't have to change holes manually, it knows where you are and therefore what hole you are on. You can change the holes manually, but it isn't necessary under most circumstances. I...

Great set of basic features

Garmin 4 3 Inch Portable Navigator Lifetime This was to be my first GPS and I wanted outstanding performance in a 5 inch screen, but didn't want or need anything fancy (like Bluetooth, etc) but did want lifetime maps. The Garmin nuvi 50LM was the perfect choice and I have not been disappointed. It is easy to use, fast and accurate. The screen is bright with excellent contrast. It is 'turn by turn" and specifically mentions the names of the streets. The default voice is strong and easy tonhear/understand. Overall, the Garmin nuvi 50LM is simple, basic and outstanding. I also bought the "beanbag" mount for the top of the dashboard and it is GREAT!! It makes is so easy to remove the GPS from sight when parked or after use, plus move the Garmin nuvi 50LM from vehicle to vehicle. In my opinion, the Garmin 50LM is the best value for money for basic "no frills" automotive GPS. I am very pleased with the Garmin nuvi 50LM and my choice in buyin...
